Prince Hohenlohc, Stakeholder of

and conciIiatory Deputies will, he
says, tend to preserve peace, and by

the contrary, sends up men who refuse
the %Septennate, then eff peace should
be further imperilled," they will be
responsible. The Stakeholder advises
those who have no loyalist candidates
to drop blank papers into the urns,
and concludes by assuring them that

duration Of the German Empire IT,

not be the first subject Of discussion

PISTOL BALLS FOR SNOW BALLS.

Jersey CITY, N. j., Jan 2O,-A
number OF boys PLAYING in an open
lot at the Corner of Henderson and
Eighteenth streets, adjoining the De
laware Lackawanna & Western rail
road coal yards, were fred on by
I'inkerton men this afternoon about
5 o'clock, and Thomas Hogan, Is
years old, a looker-on was killed.
The boys jeered at the detectives sta
toned in the company's yards, and
then began p%elting them with snow
balls. A group OF strikers and sym
pathizerS on the west side of Hender-
son street smiled approval at the lads.
AT length The leader of the PinkertOn
men stepped forward and ordered the
boys to stop throwing missiles at them.
The boys did not obey, and almost
immediately three shnrp cracks of a
revolver rang out, and Hogan fell
dead. The excitement was intense,
and the lookers-on fed in every direc-
ton. The leader of the strikers, as
o0n as he could get his men t0ge-
ther, ordered them back to their head
quarters, at the corner Of Henderson
andtFerry streets. In anticipation of
an attack, the Pinkerton men were at
once drawn up in battle array. The
Jersey City police reserve stationed
at the yards, under command of In
.speetor Lange, hurried to the scene.
The dead boy, who had been deserted
at the first sound of firing, was pick

WHAT THE NOSE INDICA2ES

Major Sophus Setback, an officer in the
Danish army, writes on the subject of physi.
OgnOmieal indications, to which his position
as inspector ofrecruits has led him to devote
q considerable share of attention. Major
Setback agrees with Aristotle in putting
his faith in noses. He can make q rood
guess at o mans constitution from the
size and build of his nose, a large nose. for
instance, almost invariably indicating su.
periOr chest capacity and power of lungs.
1t is a still more accurate index to mental
qualities, for, belonging as it does at once
to the most aud least mobile portions OF
the face, it faithfully reflects the most
fugitive movements of the mind. In the
child the nose is the most insignificant and
least developed portion of the physiogno-
my. 1t is not till the intellectual faculties
come into play that the nasal organ &C.
quires its characteristics. Savages have
no noses worthy of the name. Major
Schack's observations lead him to conclude
that a small and retroMss6 nose betokens
cunning and ~inesse; a straight and thin
nose, taste and delicacy; an aquiline
nose, judgment, reason and egotism !; while
a shapeless and clumsy nasal protuber.
ance almost always indicates dullness and
want of s0COir faire.-&. James' Gazette.

ed up by Thomas Brandon. d An ambu.
lance was summoned and the BODY
was removed to the morgue. Hogan
was not one OF the party OF boys pei
ting the men, but stood on the oppo-
site side of Henderson street. He
worked in the potato yard and was
returning to his home when he met
his death.
Inspector LANCE Immediately col
Iected a number of witnesses of the
shooting and marched the Pinkerton
men out in line. He then orderird the
witnesses to identify the men who shot.
They at once selected Patrick Sheehy
Daniel Oahill and Samuel A. Nef
from the line and identified them as
the three men who fired al the boys.
The inspector examined their revOlv-
erS, which are Of forty four cnliber,

tern. Every chamber was loaded.
The men were at once taken to police
headquarters and held upon suspicion
OF having committed homicide. Thomas
Byrnes, an eye witness of the shoot
ing, said to q reporter: II stood al my
stable door Immediately opposite the
yards. | saw the boys throwing snow
balls at the men, but they did not
str ike them. The leader Of Pinkert0n's
men stepped out in front and. shaking
his fist Ihreateningly at the bows, ex-
claimed; damn you, if you don't

diately afterwards | saw four Pinker,

623 Newark avenue, About 8 o'clock
to night the police arrested Murphy

another Of the shooters. One Of his
eyes was diScoIored and swollen where
he had been struck with a SNOWFALL.

ball that struck Hogan pierced his
brain directly above his right eye.
County Physician Converse, after
viewing the body of young Hogan
to night, orderd Coroner Burke to hold
an inquest, and latter will impanel q
jury tomorrow. The large number
of strikers congrega'ed about 'he city
prison caused Chief Murphy to trans

by the crowd, the men being removed
one at a time. Detectives escorted

India has been the first of the British
dependencies to celebrate the Queens
Jubilee. The Anglo.Indians cannot
hold festivals in May, on account Of
the heat, and so they selected Frbru-
AIRY 10th for their celebration. The re-
ioicing seems to have been well man
aged and universal, in the Native States
as well rs II own territories. From
Attock to- revandrum, from Bombay
to Mandelay, there was one Outburst
of scenic festivity, Reviews, grand
professions, and speeches from the
Viceroy and the Governors, we're fol-
lowed by Examinations, which the ma
tives love, and which, when they are in
the rood, they manage with admir-
Hble skill, bringing out the unbrok,
en- outlines of streets and cities with
an almost magical effect. We notice
that the Brahmins and moollahs have
been allowed a prominence in the
festivities which twenty, five years ago
would have been considered here
unholy; but English attention has
fixed itself on a special feature of the
rejoicing, the release of criminal pri-
soners from gaoI to the number of
twenty-five thousand. That seems to
EngIishmen an odd way ofshowlng re-
spect 10 the fountain of law; but lndi.
ansthink it a sign of b~enefcence, and il

Nre not very dangerous, and our gaols

who in a less poverty-stricken land
would have been fined, besides num-
bers who have committed rather lega al
than moral offences. Thousands, for
instance, on SAat&vast continent must
be under sente nee for faction fights.

traffic, the only just, efficient and
permanent means of securing that
object was total prohibition. This
motion, which is not only logical, but
right for only the belief that drink
ing is wrong can justify its suppression
was lost; while another motion, that
every local district should have power
OF total suppression, was carried by a
large majority. The two votes amount
to this, that right and wrong are de-
pendent on the opinion of the parish,
and that Parliament must allow in one
county what il prohibits as wrong in
another. That is Home-rule reduced
